How to Choose the Right PPE

It's not exactly glamorous, but wearing the right safety gear is pretty important when it comes to protecting employees from potentially harmful working conditions.

So how do you choose?

First off, you need to make sure you've covered all other safety measures before you think about Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Head protection is essential when there may be falling debris but it's not going to be much use if the tools or machinery being used are unsafe.

What else do you need to think about?

It's important to consider what protective wear you actually need before you start. To do this, you need to know what the risks are, how long employees will be exposed and if different people will be exposed to different risks.
